A review by kartiknarayanan
The Whole Truth by David Baldacci

2.0

The Whole Truth is the first underwhelming Baldacci that I have read.

The story is disjoint and goes all over the place. The characters are stereotypical. The hero is your typical strong alpha male type and the villain a campy old school james bond type. In fact he even has a sub in his yacht like Karl Stromberg in The Spy Who Loved Me and his nefarious scheme reminded me of Eliot Carver's plan to start a war in Tomorrow Never Dies.

Overall, it was unsatisfying and I am pissed off since I have to read the next book in this series too.
